Title: PCE Interface Unit White Screen
Post by: kinooshi823 on May 05, 2024, 12:04:48 PM

I have the unit hooked up and I get a blank screen.

I have the System Card 3.0 in the slow and I can play audio cd's so at least there is sound.

I recently got this imported from Japan as used. I did take apart the PCE and cleaned it as I thought the slot was dirty but the same issue.

Any advice on how I can solve this?

Blank screen when turning on the system with the CD system card inserted usually means a bad CD system card. Have you cleaned the CD system card pins? Also try pulling the card out of the slot slightly before powering on the system.

Do you have any Hucard games to test and if so do they also show a solid color on the screen?
